Question
Hello, I am a 24 y/o man trying to lose some body fat. I have been using a Total Gym on a regular basis for about a month now and have noticed a little more bulge to my muscles but not much fat loss. Any advice on good exercises for some fat loss? Jogging, walking, jumping jacks, ect.? Also, is running in place a good exercise for this at all? Any help would be great. Thank you.
Hello-
You are on the right track. Any type of cardiovascular activity will promote fat loss. Try everything you mentioned: Jumping jacks, jogging, walking, jump rope, aerobic dancing (try some videos), biking and hiking to name a few. Also, if you have access to stairs, try going up and down them at a brisk pace. Running in place is ok too, although this can get pretty boring so play some music in the background ; )
I hope this helps, thanks for the question.
